Slow Start (for developers)

If you want to run on the bleeding edge, or help develop Meteor, you
can run Meteor directly from a git checkout.

git clone git@github.com:meteor/meteor.git
cd meteor

If you're the sort of person who likes to build everything from scratch,
you can build all the Meteor dependencies (node.js, npm, mongodb, etc)
with the provided script. If you do not run this script, Meteor will
automatically download pre-compiled binaries when you first run it.

# OPTIONAL
./admin/generate-dev-bundle.sh

Now you can run meteor directly from the checkout (if you did not
build the dependency bundle above, this will take a few moments to
download a pre-build version).

./meteor --help

Or install to /usr/local like the normal install process. This
will cause meteor to be in your PATH.

./install.sh
meteor --help
